Why I just cancelled Disney Plus (and why I'm coming back in August)

I'm saving my $7 per month for now

I recently terminated my Disney Plus account before it hit the third month so Disney couldn't charge me again. But thanks to news that broke yesterday, I found out that I'll be bringing my account back out of mothballs in August.

Yes, I'll un-cancel Disney Plus at the end of the summer because that's the next time Disney Plus will have a show I care about. That's when The Falcon and the Winter Soldier brings us the next chapter of Captain America's story.

We learned about this release window from a Disney earnings call that revealed the service now has more than 28 million subscribers. 

Hopefully, Disney Plus also adds the correct format of The Simpsons (which it's supposed to) before then, so I feel like I'm spending this monthly $6.99 on more than one show at a time.

There aren't enough hours in the day, to be honest. I tried to get into Jeff Goldblum's point of view, but it didn't click for me either. Oh, and I've got good news for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series fans: I just got an email from Disney Plus' media relations team that announced its second season has just started production, and it's slated for a late 2020 debut.
